So, based on time we did not see the OKC Museum of Art,
the Myriad Botanical Gardens, or the American Banjo Museum.
Those will have to be for another trip. Instead we headed back to Bricktown
and caught a water taxi. The mile long ride is fun and relaxing. Enjoy
the murals on the walls, cruise under bridges, and start thinking about where
you want to dine. Restaurants and bars line the area. Folks sit outdoors eating
and laughing. The area is festive and you are ready to join the party. The taxi
continues to cruise to Lower Bricktown and a park where you can see the Oklahoma
Land Run Monument. There’s a lot of bronze – it’s impressive. It’s
still a work in progress with a final count of forty five figures expected. The
horses, cattle, and wagons that are there now are nifty.
Dinner – we ate at a Mardi Gras, New Orleans style
restaurant. Very tasty fish tacos, mardi gras nachos, and Cajun fettucine. We
rolled out of there.
Onward to baseball – the AAA Oklahoma Dodgers play at a very
pleasant ballpark right in the heart of Bricktown. Family friendly and the
right price – reasonable. Alas, the Dodgers did not win for us, but we enjoyed
a good time.
